EPCOT is home to some of the best attractions in all of the Walt Disney World Resort. From thrilling roller coasters to incredible dark rides, EPCOT has something for everyone to enjoy. The newest additions at EPCOT park are Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Journey of Water Inspired by Moana, both offering some fantastic experiences to guests visiting EPCOT. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opened in 2022 and became the first-ever roller coaster to open at the park. Journey of Water Inspired by Moana, is exactly as it sounds: a walkthrough experience based on Disney’s Moana franchise. However, one attraction at EPCOT remains one of the most beloved, especially by passionate Disney World fans.

The ride takes guests on an educational journey through conservation and gardening, teaching them about the various ways we can produce our own food and give back to Mother Nature. This attraction opened in 1982, the same year that EPCOT opened, and has remained a cult classic amongst passionate Walt Disney World fans.
Recently, Living with the Land got more exciting, with the attraction receiving a major holiday-themed upgrade.

During EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays, riders get to enjoy the Christmas overlay that has added thousands of Christmas lights, put bows on hanging gourds, and set up multiple little holiday scenes throughout the ride. This holiday tradition started in 2019 by decking out Living with the Land with tons of festive lights, props, and even an updated soundtrack.
The entire Walt Disney World Resort undergoes some magical changes as the holiday season begins, with every theme park from Animal Kingdom to Hollywood Studios receiving some spectacular events. The iconic Cinderella Castle at the center of Magic Kingdom turns into a dazzling display of lights just in time for Christmas, giving guests an even more stunning Disney park experience.
